package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.buttons;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.buttons.Trigger;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.command.Command;

/**

public class t1684_SD_TakeImage extends Trigger{
    public boolean get(){return true;}
    public void whenActive(Command command){
        System.out.println("meh");
    }
    public void whileActive(Command command){
        System.out.println("meh2");
    }
    public void whenInactive(Command command){
        System.out.println("meh3");
    }
}

this displays the button on the dash but wont do anything when clicked...

still getting above error

My team's idea for #4 was to save the processed image to the computer and have the smart dashboard read that file, but I don't know how to get the SmartDashboard to read an image.

That's not how you use it.

Trigger doThingyTrigger;
doThingyTrigger.whenActive(new DoThingy()); // DoThingy is some class extending Command
SmartDashboard.putData("Do Thingy",trigger);

I'd put this in robotInit, but it can be almost anywhere.

Just found the error that you are showing here. It is a bug in the Preferences class in WPILib. There is a fixed version of it in Stable (not Release) release of WPILibJ. Can you try updating your plugins to the Stable version by editing the plugin location and changing "Release" to "Stable" in the URL? Let me know if it work for you.

Also, there is an example of using the Preferences class here:
